KPMG finds large companies ‘on the precipice of a new era’ of ESG reporting

ESG

Sustainability reporting has seen steady growth over the past three decades while overall perspectives about environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting have seen dramatic shifts, according to the latest findings of KPMG’s Global Sustainability Report.

Because KPMG’s report now spans three decades, the data provides “some really meaningful insights about global progress toward sustainability reporting,” Rob Fisher, KPMG’s ESG leader, said on a webinar discussing the results.

For the sake of this report, the G250 refers to the world’s largest 250 companies by revenue based on the 2021 Fortune 500 rankings, while N100 refers to a worldwide sample KMPG did on the top 100 companies in 58 countries, territories, and jurisdictions. “KPMG’s overall perspective is that companies improve their financial performance when they embed ESG,” Fisher said.
